Weather Modes

iSCAN is a sophisticated and powerful NOAA weather radio receiver.
You can use iSCAN to:
• Monitor 24-hour NOAA weather radio broadcasts using Normal
Weather Mode.
• Monitor for severe weather broadcasts while you continue
scanning other channels using Weather Priority Mode.
• Monitor for warnings received in your defined geographic area
using SAME Standby Mode.
• Quickly access and monitor Skywarn repeater frequencies stored
in the Skywarn playlist.
n
Note: Your scanner incorporates weather alert as one of
its features and is an extremely sensitive high quality receiver
for weather frequencies. However, the supplied flex antenna is
optimized for general purpose scanning. If you use this scanner as
your only means for receiving weather alerts, please check to be
sure you are receiving a clear signal on the flex antenna or switch to
an external antenna that gives you clear reception of a local NOAA
weather broadcast.

Normal Weather Mode

Monitor the National Weather Service's NOAA weather broadcasts
in your area. To listen to NOAA weather broadcasts, press
press to select the strongest NOAA channel for your area.

Weather Priority Mode

To receive severe weather broadcasts while you continue scanning
other channels, set your local NOAA channel as the Weather Priority
channel. iSCAN samples the Weather Priority channel periodically
to see if the All Hazards 1050 Hz Warning Alert Tone is present. If it
is, the scanner will display an alert and tune to the specified weather
frequency to monitor the alert.
